Hello all,
Here is my code to clear all my cells to have a blank template to begin again:

Code:
Sub ClearContents()
Dim sht As Worksheet
'In case of no numeric formula or constants
On Error Resume Next
'Procedure
For Each sht In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
    If (sht.Name <> "Instructions") And (sht.Name <> "Revisions") Then
    sht.Activate
        With Range("A8:AV2000")
            .SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants).ClearContents
            .SpecialCells(xlCellTypeFormulas).ClearContents
            .Interior.Pattern = xlNone
            Range("A8").Interior.ColorIndex = 6
            Range("B8").Interior.ColorIndex = 4
            .ColumnWidth = 8.14
        End With
    End If
Next sht
     
'Disables any error trapping currently present in the procedure
On Error GoTo 0

'Return to Template Tab
Range("A1").Select
Sheets("Template").Select
End Sub

The problem is column B retains a number format of "0.00" from when the rest of the program code is run. How can I get column B back to a "General" format?
I do want A8 and B8 to have color replaced, the reason why I have the color code after the special cells code.
Thanks

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
Try
Code:
        With Range("A8:AV2000")
            .ClearContents
            .NumberFormat = "General"
            .Interior.Pattern = xlNone
            Range("A8").Interior.ColorIndex = 6
            Range("B8").Interior.ColorIndex = 4
            .ColumnWidth = 8.14
        End With

Ohh...that worked, and is cleaner. The only thing it did not clear, is a small range of border on cells that had a border from what was copied and pasted into the template.
is there code to clear borders from the sheet?
Thanks for the help

Of course, if I paste values only it does not have the borders

Untested, but try changing
Code:
.ClearContents
to
.Clear
